Teacher Notes
ABOUT THIS LESSON
Name one support and one first step for moving up to high school. The lesson helps students name one support and one first step for the move up to high school.
TEACHING INSIGHT
Joshua steps into unfamiliar ground after Moses. Courage is not the absence of fear — it is naming the fear, trusting God’s presence and taking the next honest step.
FACILITATION FOCUS
The main application is “One support and one first step”, where students move from discussing the idea to trying it in a concrete example. Keep returning to the takeaway: “Courage is a first step you take, not a fear you wait to lose.” Look for whether students name a specific support and a first step small enough to finish this week, plus a check back – not only encouragement.
